Health care startup to hire 500

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

CareSync, a Wesley Chapel-based health management company, is in the midst of a growth spurt with new investments of $18 million, and a plan to hire 500 new employees over the next 18 months.

About 100 jobs will be in marketing, sales and development. But, most will be for people with medical backgrounds, including registered nurses, certified nursing assistants and clinicians. Some positions also might go to people who have the drive and desire to become a nurse.

The start-up company launched nearly four years ago as a software and service provider for chronic disease management.

There currently are nearly 120 employees.

The company’s users include health care providers, caretakers and individual patients

who want to collect, organize and store medical data for quick, easy reference.

The idea is to put everyone involved in a

patient’s care on the same page, sharing an entire medical history.

“We are all about creating care plans,” said Travis Bond, the company’s founder and chief executive officer.

The company offers options on how to accomplish that task.

A free app is available for people who want a “do-it-yourself” approach.

However, the company also offers a range of fee-based services where retrieval specialists collect, enter and organize medical information from multiple providers. Physicians, nurses and See STARTUP, page13A

Gun issues dominate town hall session

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

It was billed as a town hall session on economic development, but the gun issues facing the Florida Legislature dominated much of the discussion.

The Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce and Pasco-Hernando State College’s Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch co-hosted a town hall on Oct. 14 featuring State Sen. John Legg and State Rep. Danny Burgess.

Eugene Williams, executive director for the Coalition for the Homeless, opened the questioning by addressing the issue of concealed weapons on campus.

“I was recently in Tallahassee and attended the committee meeting for the bill for campus concealed weapons,” Williams said.

“As a PHSC adjunct professor, I just want to let you know that I don’t think that’s a good idea.

“The committee almost voted unanimously to support the representative’s bill.

And I just think that that’s just wrong for our schools. It’s scary for our teachers, and most importantly, it’s not going to bring safety, or better safety to our to, you know, our school children,” said Williams, asking legislators to comment on the issue.

Legg, whose district represents everything south of State Road 52 in Pasco County to north of Tampa International Airport in Hillsborough County, told Williams there are four bills facing the Legislature that deal with weapons.

“We have one that basically allows, if you will, concealed weapon permit holders to be on college campus.

“We have another one that says we

should allow our teachers to be armed in the k-12 (kindergarten through 12th-grade) system.

“We have another one that has been filed for open carry (to allow people to carry their weapons in plain sight) around the state of Florida.

“You have a fourth one now that says you can bring weapons to political meetings,” Legg said.

The state senator said he believes that people have the right to protect themselves,

but not other people.

“That’s why we have law enforcement.

That’s why you have trained people to do that,” he said.

“I think universities should have the right to regulate the weapons that are on the campus, but have the caveat that you do have students living on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Legg said.

“I’m not in favor of arming our teachers,” See TOWN HALL, page13A

They’re very busy on Dogpatch Lane.

They’re so busy, that they have more business than they can handle.

If this were a regular company, it would be great news.

But at Pasco County Animal Services, it means dogs are coming in faster than they’re being adopted.

That’s not a good situation for the staff, the volunteers or the animals.

“We’re beyond capacity. We have dogs in little crates next door,” said shelter supervisor Lise Meinke. The facility is designed to hold no more than 100 dogs, but it has 150 now and more are coming in every day.

The shelter is desperate to find homes for its current residents.

When dogs get adopted, Meinke said it’s not always happily ever after.

People bring dogs back, sometimes just days later, for reasons ranging from a disapproving landlord to excessive barking or chewing.

While she loves seeing the dogs leave to new homes, it’s heartbreaking to see them brought back.

When people adopt a dog, they need to realize that there is an adjustment period, Meinke said.

“The dog from a shelter doesn’t become a housebroken, trained dog overnight. It takes a lot of time and patience, and it’s a commitment. You need to work with that animal,” she said.

The county wants to see more people work with shelter animals, so they’re reducing some of the costs associated with pet

Lise Meinke runs the shelter. She relies on her staff and dedicated volunteers to help keep the animals clean and safe. She’s been known to take some of the shelter’s dogs home with her, when the animals require extra attention.

adoption. Through the month of October, which is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, adopting a large dog (over 25 pounds and more than six months old) will cost just $15. The fee includes having them spayed or neutered, vaccines and a microchip.

Meinke hopes the promotion will help increase adoptions and help the facility maintain its “no-kill” philosophy.

No shelter is truly 100 percent no-kill, be-

cause some animals have medical or severe behavior issues, Meinke said. But, Pasco County Animal Services strives to maintain a 90 percent save percentage or better. Last year the shelter’s save rate was 94 percent.

If adoptions pick up, it will help reduce some of the overcrowding. But nobody expects it to go away completely.

Ideas come readily to Rod Mayhew; sometimes they can wake him up in the middle of the night.

The city of Zephyrhills and its future growth are where his thoughts have been focused, day or night, for the past two weeks.

He is the new executive director of the Greater Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce, stepping into the leadership role held by Vonnie Mikkelsen for six years.

Mikkelsen departed in July to accept a similar chamber position in Springfield, Oregon.

Mayhew, 61, is starting at a particularly busy time as the chamber prepares for the Pigz in Z-Hills BBQ & Blues Fest coming up in January. This annual shindig takes thousands of volunteers and months of planning.

"I'm still getting my feet wet," Mayhew said. “But, I enjoy this. I'm the person who doesn't like to sit idle.�

Less than one week into his new job, Mayhew woke up in the early morning hours thinking about a Leadership Zephyrhills program.

He is putting his experience in business ownership, marketing and publishing to use, as he sorts through what’s next on his plate, day to day.

The Zephyrhills’ chamber position opened up just as he was rethinking his career options. The opportunity to take the helm of a chamber proved too good to pass up.

"I've been working with chambers all my life," Mayhew said. "I know how the economy works. I know what makes businesses successful. I know what makes communities grow."

His dual perspectives of business owner and chamber enthusiast makes him a good fit, according to Tim Linville, the chamber’s president and search committee chairman. “I think it’s a great opportunity for Zephyrhills to continue to move forward with somebody that has previous skills, both in business and working with the chamber on the other side of the fence, as he has in his past other jobs,� said Linville in a press release announcing Mayhew’s selection. “It should be a good move for Zephyrhills in its future.�

Some early ideas from Mayhew include the nine-month leadership program and increasing the number of education programs available for business owners to keep up with technology and resources in the community.

He is excited about the growth potential in Zephyrhills, especially with plans to redesign and widen roads into and out of the city.

"The way to growth is coming," Mayhew said. "It's coming in this direction. There is so much that is happening. It’s just primed for growth. It’s a good, central hub."

He is a believer in teamwork at the chamber and among other chambers in the area. “I want to see everyone all working together,� he said.

Mayhew has experienced, first-hand, growth in other counties. He moved his

mortgage company – Presidential Mortgage – to Brandon when that area was still largely cow pasture. “There wasn’t too much there,� he said. “I saw the growth coming.�

He also met his wife Cathy when she became office manager at Presidential. They live in Brandon with daughter Danielle who is a mass communications student at Hillsborough Community College. The 20year-old plans to transfer to the University of South Florida.

The Mayhew family will soon move to Zephyrhills.

Mayhew grew up in Annapolis, Maryland, across from the U.S. Naval Academy. In fact, he was born at the academy during a blizzard. “It was either give birth at home or go to the Naval Academy,� he said.

Mayhew initially considered journalism as a career but steered toward marketing and public relations. He has an associate’s degree from Anne Arundel Community College in Arnold, Maryland; a bachelor of science marketing from Towson University in Towson, Maryland; and, a master of business administration from the University of Miami.

It was in 1984 when he headed to Tampa, where he got into banking.

He also did a “financial facts� column for the Tampa Bay Builders Association, and occasionally appeared on Channel 8 with anchor Gayle Sierens, discussing financial matters.

He has worked as a mortgage broker and real estate agent, and owned his mortgage company for about 15 years.

And wherever he has gone, Mayhew has published magazines focused on real estate.

His first magazine went from zero to 100 pages in five months, Mayhew said. He has done magazines in Brandon, Riverview and Apollo Beach. “This was before the Internet became really popular with real estate companies,� said Mayhew, who also created the hometown magazine website.

He has always been a chamber supporter and served on the board of directors of the Ruskin Chamber of Commerce.

Real estate interests took him to Pennsylvania, where he and his wife have a second home. Mayhew helped with a Main Street initiative in Bedford, Pennsylvania.

For a time, he was marketing director for Pierpont Community & Technical College in West Virginia. He created a campaign to name the school mascot, Montgomery “Monty� the Lion.

In upcoming months, Mayhew will put his marketing and business skills to the test.

With more than 450 businesses enrolled as members, he sees room for growth, as new jobs and development come to Zephyrhills. “Our membership is ready to take off,� he said.

And then there is the annual barbecue festival, and volunteer recruitment that will keep Mayhew and his staff busy. “I’m always looking for volunteers,� he said. “We want people who want to participate.�

Art plus wine, creates a perfect picture

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

James Serrano found a new career direction in an unexpected place – a “paint and sip” art studio.

After more than 20 years as a financial advisor and stockbroker, he now is planning “paint parties” at his new business, Pinot’s Palette.

On Oct. 23 at 6 p.m., he will open the doors and cut the ribbon to a new adventure as a first-time business owner of his art studio and bar at The Shoppes in New Tampa, at 1718 Bruce B. Downs Blvd.

And, the sign inside Pinot’s Palette gets right to the point on what an art studio and bar are all about - “Paint. Drink. And have fun.”

Serrano is no artist, but he swirled a paintbrush across canvas at a similar studio owned by a friend. At the time, he was rethinking his career options.

The combination of artwork and wine brought him a “light bulb” moment. With encouragement from his wife, attorney Carol Serrano, he researched what is known as the “paint and sip” industry and found Pinot’s Palette.

A trip to the company’s headquarters in Houston sold him on the franchise. And the social aspects of the business seemed a natural fit for him.

“I love people,” Serrano said. “I love to meet people.”

Pinot’s Palette began as a small, local business in Houston, Texas, in 2009. Soon after, its founders, Craig Ceccanti, Charles Willis and Beth Willis, began franchising their concept nationally. They now have about 100 locations in more than 30 states.

The idea is that anyone, with a little guidance, can discover the “inner” artist waiting to be set free. Dipping into the creative palette with a glass of wine or a craft beer gives it all a party fizz.

niversary parties or other special events at appointed times.

Pinot’s Palette provides canvas, easel, brushes, paint and an apron. And, Serrano said, everyone takes away a “masterpiece” drawn from an example set on an easel and also visible on a monitor. Artists take people step-by-step through the process.

Guests are welcome to bring their own appetizers, and Pinot’s will provide plates, silverware and napkins. Beer, wine and soda will be available for purchase.

Evening sessions are adult-oriented, and no children under age 12 will be permitted.

But, there will be Little Brushes and Family Day classes.

It will be a family-oriented business, said Serrano.

He and his wife have three sons and a passion for soccer.

In the future, Serrano said he plans to have “drop and shop” opportunities, where PHOTOS COURTESY OF PINOT’S PALETTE parents can sign up their children for art Pinot’s Palette boasts nearly 100 locations in more than 30 states. classes and then explore The Shoppes at New Tampa or cross the street to The Shoppes at Wiregrass for a couple hours of shopping. Also, Paint It Forward events will be hosted to benefit local charities.

“I want to give back to the community,” said Serrano.

The Serrano family currently lives in the master-planned community of Westchase in Tampa. But, they will shortly be looking to relocate to the Wesley Chapel area.

Serrano knew he wanted Wesley Chapel for his business.

Porter Campus hits 3,000-mark

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Pasco-Hernando State College’s Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch has hit another milestone.

The campus hit the 3,000 mark for enrollment for the coming term. Stan Giannet, provost at Porter Campus, announced the milestone during a town hall session sponsored by the college and the Greater Wesley Chamber of Commerce on Oct. 14.

The campus opened two years ago, with 1,800, exceeding its expectations at that time, Giannet said, in an interview after the town hall session.

From the beginning, the campus has been entrepreneurial with its scheduling, he said.

“We opened very aggressively, with an opportunity for students to take classes from 8 o’clock in the morning until 9:40 at night, Monday through Thursday, and from 8

o’clock until 4:30 on Friday, with a generous opportunity for online sections and hybrid sections,” Giannet said.

“We continued to build on that schedule, with community needs, student needs, student feedback and faculty feedback, of course, in our schedule building – and what our students are telling us they need,” he said.

The college keeps a close eye on projected work force needs, and offers courses designed to help students be prepared for those opportunities, Giannet said.

The college has added a program that helps licensed paramedics make the transition to becoming nurses.

It also is planning to add the CISCO Academy certification courses, a prestigious designation in the Information Technology field.

That program exists at PHSC’s West Campus, but is being brought to the Porter

Campus as well, Giannet said.

Wiregrass Ranch High School, which is right behind the Porter Campus, has an IT academy.

“You know, with the proliferation of new businesses coming to the Wesley Chapel area, that networking, IT, will be very fruitful for potential graduates,” Giannet said.

Giannet said the college is seeking to prepare students to take advantage of the new opportunities that are coming to Wesley Chapel.

Thinking About Going Back To College?

Saint Leo May Be The School For You. Special to The Laker / Lutz News There are two kinds of adult students who find their way to Saint Leo University — those completing their undergraduate studies and those returning to higher education to earn a master’s or doctorate degree.

For residents of Pasco and surrounding counties, Saint Leo’s adult learner programs are convenient, cost-effective and highly personal. Most local students take a combination of traditional classes held on campus evenings and weekends, along with flexible online classes.

“Saint Leo is ideal for adult students who live close-by in Wesley Chapel, Land O’ Lakes and Lutz. Because we’re close to home, our students benefit from the on-campus experience of learning with other students and getting to know their professors firsthand,” said Laura “Beth” Lastra, Director of the university’s Adult Education Center.

To help people assess if Saint Leo’s adult learner program is right for them, the University has two upcoming information sessions that are free to attend. Sessions are Tuesday, Oct. 27 from 6 to 7 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 14 from 10 to 11 a.m.

Both will be on its campus located at the Donald R. Tapia School of Business, in northeast Pasco, located on State Road 52, three miles east of I-75.

Leading the sessions will be academic advisors from both the Adult Education Center and Graduate Admissions to discuss programs and the admission process. After an overview of the University, students will break into groups for undergraduate or graduate students.

“Our sessions help people learn how they can earn their degree with the flexibility they need to fit their busy home and work schedules,” said Lastra. “We share important details about our degree programs, financial aid, class schedules and the enrollment process.”

“We encourage potential students to bring their transcripts to the information session, so we can help them determine where they’re at academically, and what they need to do next to earn their degree,” said Lastra.

In addition to its main campus in Saint Leo, the university also offers adult undergraduate classes at the New Port Richey and Porter campus of Pasco Hernando State College, as well as the PHSC locations in Hernando County.

Adult students can choose from 13 undergraduate majors, with the four most popular programs offered in business, criminal justice, social work and education.

The average age of adult education students is 37-45, says Lastra. And while most transfer in with some college credit, more than a quarter of students have not previously attended college.

“Adult students enroll for many reasons,” said Lastra. “Many are coming back to school because of a new job, a promotion or after they’ve earned their associate degree from a community or state college.

“We also have many older students who are back to fulfill a personal goal of completing their college degree – and some who are here to set an example for their children, who may even be competing with their children who are also college students.”

Many of Saint Leo’s adult students enroll full time to qualify for a Florida Resident Access Grant (FRAG). This program provdes residents of the state of Florida an annual grant of $3,000, if they’re enrolled full time at an accredited, private university in the state, such as Saint Leo University.

“With the offset of the FRAG grant, tuition for our full-time adult students is less than $3,168 a year — which is comparable to the tuition at a state university,” said Lastra.

In the graduate program, students earn master’s degrees in Business Administration and Cybersecurity.They also offer a doctorate in business administration. Graduate classes are taught at the Saint Leo campus and at its Channelside location in downtown Tampa.

Most of the campus graduate programs schedule classes every other weekend, explains Joshua Stagner, who is Director of Graduate Admissions.

Classes are taught in four-hour blocks, with most students taking two classes each semester.

“We find having classes every other week gives our adult students the most flexibility to allow for a life balance of school, family and work,” said Stagner.

“We understand the importance of family and work obligations, and know these needs must be met for a student to be successful in his graduate program,” said Stagner.

Twelve classes are required for most master’s degree programs. Saint Leo students can complete their master’s in two years by taking two classes each term, Stagner said.

Saint Leo’s MBA program is its oldest and best-known graduate program. It was launched in 1994 and is viewed as one of the university’s flagship programs.

“We offer several concentrations within the MBA program, including Accounting, Health Care Management, Marketing, Sport Business and Project Management,” he said.

The university’s newest master’s program — Cybersecurity — is also one of its most successful with an astounding number, considering the program is only in its second year,” Students will learn about Cybersecurity in our state of the art lab at University Campus.

Another recent success in the graduate department was Saint Leo’s first doctorate degree — Doctor of Business Administration.

“Both programs have really shown strong support and growth,” said Stagner. “We are thrilled at their success, and proud to be bringing such quality, and much needed, higher educational programs to our community.”

gates easily by tubers. Air potato vine had few predators, until now. The air potato leaf beetle was released a few years ago, primarily in natural areas such as state parks. This reddish orange beetle has successfully lived in the wild, reproduced and is voraciously eating the air potato vine leaves. When this beneficial bug eats the air potato vine leaf, it effectively reduces the leaves’ ability to make food through photosynthesis. Over time, this beetle will help reduce the amount of land covered by the invasive vine.

There are other great biological controls, such as the larra wasp.

Most people do not realize that wasps and flies can be beneficial. In particular, the larra wasp is a predator of mole crickets.

Mole crickets are insects that love bahiagrass.

Mole crickets are large, active at night, and they form burrows in soil — called galleries —that damages grass roots.

The larra wasp loves mole crickets. It finds a mole cricket, drags it up to the soil surface, and lays an egg on the soft underside of the mole cricket. When the mole cricket travels back, down into its tunnel, the larra wasp egg eventually hatches and the larra wasp larva consumes and kills the mole cricket.

The larra wasp is a great beneficial bug.

You can attract it by planting larraflower Spermacoce verticillata. The tiny clusters of white flowers are very attractive to larra wasps and other pollinators.

Lastly, be careful with pesticide use. Use the least toxic or soft pesticides, such as insecticidal soap and horticultural oil, whenever possible. Rotate vegetables to keep vegetable garden pests guessing.

Choose pest-resistant varieties and follow the first principle of Florida Friendly LandscapingTM: right plant, right place. By selecting the right plant and planting it in the right location, you may be able to reduce pest and disease problems.

So, don’t forget: Most insects are harmless or are actually helpful, and just 1 percent of insects are pests.

Also, recognize that proper identification is important, and that in cases like the mealybug destroyer, larva can look very different from the adult form of that same insect.

If you need help identifying an insect, contact your local Extension office.

Many insects live in our gardens. But did you know that most insects are harmless?

In fact, nearly 99 percent of all insects are either harmless or helpful, and just 1 percent are considered pests.

Sometimes we easily recognize beneficial bugs.

Common insects that come to mind include honey bees, butterflies and lady beetles. Other examples of beneficial bugs are predatory wasps, earwigs and big-eyed bugs.

It is easy to encourage beneficial bugs to your garden.

Start by adding plant diversity. Choose flowers of different colors and shapes, so they attract large and small pollinators.

One highly successful pollinator plant is scorpion’s tail. This plant has tiny white flowers that are attractive to wasps and flies.

Another great choice is partridge pea.

The partridge pea has light green leaves and bright yellow flowers. Partridge pea blooms throughout the year. Not only does it serve as a host plant for yellow sulphur butterflies, it also serves as a nectar plant for butterflies, bees and pollinators. Planting partridge pea in your garden will ensure visits by our native pollinators.

When encouraging beneficial bugs to your garden, properly identify “pests.” When you see an insect or a bug, take the time to identify it before taking action.

My favorite bug is the mealybug destroyer. Most people find this bug in its larval form. As larva, it resembles a giant, white mealybug with a bad hair day. But, this bug seeks out and eats pest insects such as scales and mealybugs. At first glance, a reaction may be to squish or spray it. However, when left alone, the mealybug destroyer moves quickly and eats its prey. Eventually, it turns into a black lady beetle.

The mealybug destroyer is a type of lady beetle, and inadvertently killing it significantly decreases the ability of a key insect to assist you with your garden’s pest control.

Some beneficial bugs have been introduced as biological control agents. These insects typically link with a key pest, plant or problem.

For example, the air potato vine is an invasive exotic plant that grows rapidly, has Nicole Pinson is an Urban Horticulture few known natural predators and propa- Agent in Hillsborough County.

More festivals and fun as Halloween approaches

NOW OPEN!

By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

Previously, we published a list of up-andcoming Halloween and fall festival events designed to provide plenty of treats (and a few scares) in October.

Those events were fun, but there are others that also deserve attention. So prepare for more games, rides, costumes and maybe a couple of frights over the next couple of weeks.

TRINITY FEST

Generations Christian Church, 1540 Little Road in Trinity, will host its “Trinity Fest� Oct. 29 through Nov. 1. The event will include a variety of activities across four days.

On Thursday, the midway carnival will be open from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. Rides are $1 each.

On Friday, from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m., there will be a food truck rally, a disc jockey, line dancing, a mechanical bull, a rockclimbing wall and free hay rides. There also will be pumpkin decorating and cornhole tournaments. The rides will be open with a $20 wristband allowing unlimited access.

On Saturday, there will be a Generations on the Go 5K and fun run from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m., and a business and craft expo from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. From 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., there will be dancers, music, a petting zoo and a dominoes tournament. Trunk-ortreating will take place from 7 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., and midway rides with $20 unlimited access will be available from noon until 5 p.m., and again from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m.

On Sunday, an unlimited wristband will cost $15, and the carnival will be open from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m.

For more information, call (727) 3758801 or visit TrinityFest.info. To register for the 5K, visit GenerationsontheGo.org.

The Haunted House on 41 has a different theme each year. This week ‘The Mall’ opens for some gruesome business.

MACABRE MALL ON 41

The Haunted House on 41, an annual tradition at Land O’ Lakes Community Park, 5401 Land O’ Lakes Blvd, is back with a shopping mall theme.

Visitors will walk through the room to visit several creepy “shops� full of monsters, blood and assorted Halloween-themed gore.

It only takes a couple of minutes to walk through it, but local students put a lot of time into its construction. In the end, they create a creepy attraction that brings in nearly 1,000 visitors each year. And, at a suggested donation of just $1, it’s an affordable fright.

The mall has a sneak preview evening Oct. 22 from 7:30 p.m. until 9 p.m., and is open Oct. 23 and Oc. 24 from 7:30 p.m. until around 10 p.m.

For more information, call (813) 9291229.

SPOOKY TAILS MEANS TREATS FOR K-9 UNIT The ninth annual “Spooky Tails�

Halloween party and pet costume contest will be on Oct. 24 at the Land O’ Lakes Community Center, 5401 Land O’ Lakes Blvd. The annual event benefits the Pasco Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit.

Previous fundraisers have assisted in the purchase of a bite suit to help train the dogs, and contributed to the K-9 dog retirement fund. The goal for this year’s event is to contribute to the retirement fund and make other purchases the unit needs during the year.

For Gail Cooper, owner of Parwick Kennels and the founder of Spooky Tails, taking care of canines that serve the community is the right thing to do. “These dogs are these men’s partners.

They have each other’s backs, if you will,� she said.“They’re part of the family.�

Ben Pumo, owner of Benedetto’s Ristorante Italiano and a supporter of Spooky Tails since its inception, agrees. “They’re our officers without a voice,�

Pumo said. “I think it’s important that the dogs get taken care of after their retirement.�

Pumo expects 40 to 50 dogs in costumes at the event.

Spooky Tails runs from noon until 4 p.m.

The pet costume contests will be at 2:30 p.m. There will be more than a dozen vendors at the event, as well as games, music, food, and a special demonstration from the K-9 unit.

For more information, call (813) 4800811, or visit Pasco-K9-Fundraiser.com.

A HILLBILLY HALLOWEEN

Hillbilly Farms, 10325 US Highway 98 in Dade City, will host its fourth annual “Harvest Festival� on Oct. 24. More than 400 people attended last year, and they’re expecting another good turnout.

Children’s activities include bounce houses, mini-train rides and games. There will also be horse riding, face painting and a pumpkin patch.

The Harvest Festival includes an annual pumpkin-painting event, and guests can either purchase a pumpkin on site or bring their own.

The event itself is free and parking is free, but individual activities may incur a separate charge. For $10, parents can purchase a wristband that allows their children to participate in various activities. Food and drinks will also be available for purchase.

The Harvest Festival runs from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. For more information, call (352) 567-7475 or visit the Hillbilly Farms Facebook page.

STARTUP, from page 1A family members, as well as individual patients, can access the centralized data to coordinate care. This can include scheduling appointments, putting together a list of questions to ask the doctor, tracking medications and avoiding the duplication of medical tests.

“You can invite others to share your data,” Bond said.“That’s helpful, because typically a caretaker feels intimidated because of lack of data. They lack training and confidence.”

About one-third of CareSync’s users are children caring for elderly parents, Bond said.

The program also aids physicians in coordinating care, especially when multiple providers are involved.

CareSync also aids in billing procedures and meeting requirements for Medicare’s chronic disease management goals.

Bond’s motivation in creating his company, in part, came from a friend’s struggle to manage the care of her daughter who has an autoimmune disease.

The friend is a nurse, but even she was overwhelmed trying to cope with 12 doc-

tors and six emergency medical records (EMR) in three states.

“If she can’t do it, no one can,” Bond said.

“It bogs down the velocity of care.”

And, he said it creates a “dark space between doctors and appointments. How is it we can help individuals become more informed when not at a point of care?”

While CareSync’s headquarters are in Wesley Chapel, the company operates a nursing center in Wauchula in Hardee County where medical advice and planning is available on a 24-hour basis. Bond hopes to open a nursing center in Wesley Chapel, too.

The $18 million in funding is from new investors Merck Global Health Fund, Greycroft Partners and Harbert Venture Partners, and also current investors Tullis Health Investors, Clearwell Group, CDH Solutions and Bond.

The funding reflects the growth in the chronic disease management industry and recognition by physicians that case management will be here for years to come, Bond said.

“These are lasting, long-term careers. It’s really a big deal,” he said.

For information call CareSync at (800) 587-5227, or visit CareSync.com.

SHELTER, from page 1A “When are we not at capacity?” asked volunteer Max Sobel, as he cared for an animal in the small dog room. Max and his wife, Teri, have been volunteering at the facility for six years.

The Sobels help take care of the dogs while they’re waiting for a permanent home. While it’s sad to see them lined up in cages with nowhere to go, Teri said she knows that many of them are in a much better place than the negligent or abusive situation where they were before.

So, when a dog finds a new home, it’s a true cause for celebration,Teri said.

“That’s a really good feeling. That makes it all worthwhile,” Teri said. “We come to make life for the dogs as good as it can be while they’re here, and then the main goal is to get them a forever home.”

That forever home takes time, Meinke said.

Smaller, younger dogs are in greater demand, even though older and bigger dogs can be a great fit for many adoptive families.

Since things are so crowded, it’s not surprising that Meinke, who has dogs, cats, goats and a donkey herself, sometimes takes her work home with her.

She has taken home dogs that are scared or need a period of acclimation and attention. She’s also taken home kittens that need

“Freshman year, I was just very jittery and freaking out when stuff went wrong,” she recalled.“Now I think I’m more relaxed.”

As a team leader, Hargreaves is the one motivating her fellow players, reminding them they can rally from a bad point or game.

Not that Wharton has had too many bad points or games this season. But, Hargreaves doesn’t simply want a good record dominating easy opponents. The challenging matches are the best ones for the team, she said, because it keeps their communication skills strong. Against easier teams they might get away with winning based on sheer talent.

they’ll have to be on top of their game.

If they can do that, Hargreaves thinks the team has bright prospects in the playoffs.

“We can win state, I think,” she said. “We have the talent on this team to go really far.

We just need to stay working together as a team.”

Barber knows there are a lot of games between the regular season and that kind of success. No matter how far they get in the playoffs (Wharton reached the regional quarterfinals last year before losing to eventual state champion Manatee), he has confidence in his players, in the program, and in Wharton volleyball’s continuing tradition of success.

“We’re very grateful, and we feel very blessed with how we’ve grown as a program over the last six or seven years,” he said.
